Across the Years

Chapter 34: Fate or Chance?

No One's POV

The pair had a very nice lunch, though Jennie weren't too fond of the rock music that was playing in the bar.

"I do not like this music. Must all modern music be about people's behinds? It's so vulgar" Jennie said as she finished the last bite of her salad.

Lisa raised an eyebrow and listened to a few bars of Baby Got Back by Sir Mix a lot that happened to be playing, before shrugging. "Sorry honey, it's all about asses these days, either looking them or getting them."

Jennie wasn't sure if Lisa was kidding her, but it certainly seemed like the modern music was all about things that one in her day, would never speak about in public. All this talk of sex openly, made her a bit uncomfortable. She liked sex, but it was something people didn't talk about.

Lisa got up from the table. "Come on, let's go."

Jennie got up and looked around, while some of the changes were a bit unsettling, Jennie felt a sense of pride that the Inn her father built was still running.

Outside, the pair took each other's hands and Lisa suggested they take a walk and see the town. Jennie knew she needed to reacquaint herself with the town so she agreed. She also loved being able to openly walk hand in hand with her female lover.

The pair walked around a little bit, mostly in a happy silence with Jennie pointing out buildings she recognized. However at one point Lisa stopped on the side walk in front of a Belty Burger restaurant. A cheap MacDonald's rip off in the UK, Lisa threw caution to the wind and ate there when she first arrived in Britain. She found the food to be horribly greasy and it made her sick to her stomach. She hadn't been there since.

But at this point, Lisa stood in front of the Betty Burger and started to laugh.

Jennie looked at Lisa rather puzzled. "What is so funny Lisa? It is just what you called a fast food restaurant. I do not get your humor."

Lisa stopped laughing after a few seconds and turned to Jennie. "When I first came here I ate that horrible food and got sick. I think I know why that place may be so horrible."

"Why?'

Lisa then pointed to a large rock that happened to be sitting in the grass between Betty burger and the shoe store next door. "That rock was there in 1869. I remember it. I remember it as it was about 20 yards away from the outhouse behind the cabin. Now the Betty burger is now about 20 yards away from the rock."
